Customer Reviews for VEVOR Jewelry Polisher Tumbler 5Kg Capacity Mini Rotary Tumbler Machine with Timer Jewelry Polisher Finisher for Jewelry Stone

I RECOMMENT PURCHASING STAINLESS STEEL MEDIA AND DON'T FORGET TO ADD WATER, BUT ITS A GOOD TUMBLER AM USING TO POLISH MY HAND POURED SILVER BARS

Overall quality and performance is very good. Only thing I would say is the door and cantilever locking mechanism is a little bit tricky at times.

I setup this tumbler, turned it on, and the lid was leaking in less than 5 minutes. The lid locking/sealing setup is not the greatest. There is an extra lid o-ring supplied in the box, but that would not solve anything. My idea: slide a folded up piece of thin cardboard under the locking lever before you lock it. It allows you to put more pressure on the lid - and leak free! I started years ago with the dual drum tumbler from Harbor Freight. Let's see how this one compares.

Tumbler works great, I was polishing different alloy motorcycle parts. ** DO NOT USE THE MEDIA INCLUDED ** It immediately goes rusty and tarnishes whatever you have. Buy some quality 3mm stainless media from a reputable source.

Works very well as I need to frost my glass cabochon. Will be a great asset to my workshop. Strong quality.

Bought 2 of the 3kg, and 1 of the 5kg units. Following the advice of others, I binned the shot that comes with the units. I'm tumbling rocks in all of them and have run all three units basically constantly for nine weeks (each) - the seal on the 5kg lasted about five weeks, the supplied replacement is in place now. I've had no problems with the 3kg models and would highly recommend that model (especially for the price), noting that plastic barrels are much louder than rubber ones, so invest in some cheap sound proofing if they're going to run in a garage connected to the house or similar. The 5kg unit has, over the last two days, developed some chips around the opening and is now leaking slurry when in operation (the seal helps, but doesn't fully prevent the leakage). I'm about to throw out the 5kg unit and pick up another couple of 3kg units to replace it.

great little machine,works well.very affordable.I have found VEVOR to be so easy to deal with and the range of products really broad.also much cheaper than other outlets.really quick postage as well.I will be back.

If I just received the tumbler, it would have got 5 stars across the board! Works great, very sturdy, great price, but.....it also came with a bag of steel shot, to use with it, presumably for polishing my jewelry pieces. I put a lot of time and effort and care into each piece I create. So, I was excited to finally have a tumbler. So after many hours of creating, polishing and cleaning by hand, I put in the tumbler, the steel shot, with another package of shot that I purchased on amazon, my jewelry, 3 bracelets, filtered water, and, a tblsp of Dawn. Sealed it up, and, set it to 1 hour to start. Came back when I heard the timer ding, and, much to my horror, ALL MY JEWELRY WAS BLACK! I thought Id done something wrong. I spent hours and hours, trying to clean those pieces, I mean, so far, almost 5 hours of cleaning. I ran the shot alone with just a baking soda paste, and, what I found next, was rust, and, blackened balls of steel shot, clearly not stainless steel. I had to separate 1 by 1 all the shot, it took quite a while, then, run the good shot through several cleaning cycles to get it back to pristine condition. The shot it came with was total garbage, cost me so many hours of grief, work, stress, and, frustration. What a damn mess! Please, if you cant include real shot, than dont include at all! I'm almost afraid to use it now after this nightmare! It cost me time, and, money, since, I was unable to sell my pieces in that state. I do very intricate wire jewelry. So, I believe the tumbler is fine, don't use that shot, what a mess!

I can use the vevor rock polishing tumbler as a ball mill. Then when the steel balls get rusty I polish them in the tumbler with sand to clean them suck a great design with the strong, thick, plastic container too.

The tumbler has the forward and reverse feature that does an excellent job on my brass shells . The agitation does away with the powder in and outside the brass. Add a little dawn soap and Lemi shine boost and they look like new. If they made a larger one I would have bought it as well ..recommend the unit compared to the prices of the more expensive brands , you can’t beat it. This review is based on the one time use , cause I haven’t gotten a chance to use it multiple times as of yet. So can’t say anything on the long term use , but it appears to be a good machine.. I would suggest having an extra belt on hand in case it breaks in the middle of a load..peace”
